There's Mo Excuse
What will be your excuse for your low grade?
Usually we manage to find many excuses for our
low grades but no doubt when we take the time to
analyze these excuses we find that they really aren't
much good after all.
Conscience plays a big role especially when we are
concerned with our grades. We even make excuses about
our grades to ease our tossing and tumbling conscience
which seems to say over and over . . . "What's your
excuse?"
Your conscience can not be satisfied with such
answers as: I wanted to watch TV ... I had to go to a
meeting ... I had to read the funnies and sports in the
paper ... or I had to go to the movies with my friends.
No one makes you study ... so why should you?
Students often wonder why we have to have exams . . .
yet I wonder how much some of us would study if we
knew that we were not required to take exams. Would
You?
It is only about forty some odd
days School days I might add)
until summer vacation or gradu- .
ation in some few cases! Who
could be brave enough to say this
year has dragged? I
Which reminds me of what I
ovei heard one co-ed saying to
anothei . . . "Guess I'll be back
next year I didn't get engaged
this year." Well what's that ole
saying about Howard Payne"'
I don't know whether the news
has reached you yet freshmen
but the first of April edition of
the Yellow Jacket is to be put
out by the fiesman class . . . bet-
ter get busy and see your class
proxy.
At last I am rid of that feeling
of inferiority the Navy finally
launched a satellite . . . supposed
to stay up more than ten years I
hear.
There didn't seem to be
many Irish people around the
campus when only a few
spruced up in their green to
celebrate St Patrick's Day.
Guess that one slipped up on
us.
A familiar word around the
dormitory after 10:30 p.m. is
"Wanta buy a sandwich?" This
saying goes along with pleading
faces of band students who are
doing their best to raise funds
for a band trip . . . have a heart
and stomach and give in.
Fads come and go ... I near
that over in Thomas Taylor the
fad began with 42 and went to
21. 1958
caids and is now the game of
"handball" ... I don't ically
understand the game myself . . .
what good does it do except
biuise your hands and make you
sore? Let me in on the seciet.
Ever iuii across a person like
this''
"Know what time it is?"
"Yeah"
"Thanks."
And heie'- an old one:
"I like men with brown eyes
and green backs."
Who was it that did all the
biagging about the beautiful sun-
ny days in Texas . . . I'd like to
make him cat his words No joke
a person can get tired of the same
ole thing week after week.

There art three kinds of Chris-
tians. Christian which are you?

to be pushed wherever they go

From the Library
'Karamazov'
Is Monumental
j w. l.m
Through the years "The Broth-
ers Karamazov" by Fyodor Dos-
toevsky has been acclaimed one
of the greatest books ever writ-
ten. And certainly it is a monu-
mental work in the depiction of
Nineteenth Century Russia and
more particularly in its splendid
characterizations.
Dostoevsky can be compared
with the impressionistic painters
in that his characters aie un-
probable and unaccountable. The
persons are not copied fiom life
although they are life-like. They
are personifications of passions
pride lust sensuality and hate.
W. Somerset Maugham says that
Dostoevsky was a great novelist
but a poor artist.
The principle chaiactcrs are
lustful old Fodor and his four
sons Ivan the philosopher; Dmi-
tri the passionate; Alyosha the
compassionate and Smerdyakov
the sinster son Dostoevsky origin-
ally intended that "The Brothers
Karamazov" be a novel of several
volumes and that Alyosha be the
principle character. Death ended
his intention with only one vol-
ume completed while Dmitri
usurps much of the limelight.
'"The Brothers Karamazov" is
a classic mutder mystery yet the
theme of the book is the search
for God. The culminating points
of the book are the sections call-
ed "Pro and Contra" and "The
Russian Monk" in which the
theme of the book is discussed.
It happened on a Vermont
weekend. As the party was
breaking up I said goodbye to
one of the guests a sad-faced
elderly man who kept us laugh-
ing all through dinner and for
several hourd afterwards. After
he left I asked my hostess "Who
is that man? He's the most enter-
taining fellow I've ever met."
"Why I really don't know"
she said. "He came to fix the
furniture this morning and he's
been here ever since."
